I´m deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Brandon. Although I only knew him for a short period of time back in about 2006, it was clear that he was a great guy with a remarkable talent for airbrushing. His artistry and passion were truly inspiring.

As we remember Brandon, I like to think that now, he can airbrush us some beautiful skies and sunsets, painting the heavens with the same skill and creativity that he brought to his work here on Earth.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Leona (his mom )
